Consisting of regional authorities from the four countries and accompanying technical, communication and academic expertise providers, the consortium will closely work with the SMEs in all aspects necessary for achieving the objectives of both the SMEs and the project itself.

WHO ARE WE DOING THIS FOR?


WHAT DO WE WANT TO ACHIEVE?
Preceded by setting up a knowledge base and mapping existing good practices in environmental management in the field of tourism, the project will see a development of transnational and cross-sectoral support schemes. These schemes will have the ultimate objective of enabling the participating SMEs to scale up their activities and build capacities within their enterprises and finally access certification schemes and other initiatives that promote sustainable tourism and lead to competitive advantage, as an added value.
